Looking at realoem the F22's have a different rack (32106889112) than the F87/F80's (32107852660). Both electrically assisted. I know the F22 rack is belt driven from the electric motor.
Exactly. I don’t know. That’s what I’ve was trying to find out. For me, the m240i steering has that dead zone and then was really light in feel. The m2/3/4 has more weight to it (even in comfort) and i don’t get this dead zone. But what the actual difference is between twos rack, beats me. But I’ve stopped researching now, be a use I got rid of the car.
